The former TOWIE took to Instagram to confirm the devastating loss of his restaurant, sharing a photo of the building after the blaze.

Elliott, who is Mark Wright's cousin, continued, 'It’s too soon to say why.

'More importantly in life you get tested... it’s been a very testing couple of years... especially recently.. but if you know me, you know I will rise from this... I will rebuild it big and better than before... I will never be beaten.'
